With the Lasso Tool still selected, Right Click (CMD-Click) on the mask and select Make Work Path from the menu. Start with your blank document in Adobe Photoshop, use the Lasso Tool freehand to create the outline of the torn edge and continue the selection across the lower half of the document. I think next week I will do a more mellow post for those wanting tips instead of the heavy reading. Cassi–RAW is a larger file, and you can tweak the RAW image and not lower the quality like you do when you tweak and save a jpg file. I worried all my diagrams would be passed over (if it were me and I knew little about the program, I might have gotten overwhelmed). I have been trying to figure out my new Photoshop program watching hours of tutorial and still not getting it. I know nothing about photo shop I have borrowed it to see if I like it I spent all day on my behind playing with it it is fun never have done layers yet. I tweak the top layer to my liking and eventually merge the two layers (layer + flatten image) into one. Once my duplicate layer is highlighted in blue (it says background copy here) I can add the soft light layer. If you want then you can set opacity of this layer to around 80% in layer palette depending on what image you are using. Now, Go to hidden layer and make this layer visible again by clicking eye in layer palette on the left side of this layer.

Ok, now merge two of these layers again and press Ctrl+J to duplicate this layer one more time.

Now create a new layer, then select the Brush Tool and a soft round brush with size about 150 px.
